Best MLB DFS Picks Today: 1B Freddie Freeman, LAD

Freddie Freeman may not win the MVP this season, but he is a superstar, and a future Hall of Famer who has won a World Series and knows what big games mean and how to perform up to the level of expectation.

On Wednesday, Los Angeles will need the best from their first baseman. Fortunately, Freeman has the stats in his favor.

The Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt is 3-9 this season with a 5.72 ERA. And, Freeman has outstanding numbers in his career against Pfaadt. This makes us excited to have Freeman as one of our best MLB DFS picks today.

4-for-6 with a home run, 2 doubles, 3 RBIs, and a strikeout. 3 extra-base hits out of the 4 hits he has? That’s what we want to see – Freeman doesn’t just make contact against Pfaddt but he drives the ball.

Hopefully, the Dodgers can get some runners on base to provide Freddie with RBI opportunities, but no matter the offensive output from the rest of the Dodgers, we like Freeman to have a big day on Wednesday.

Best MLB DFS Picks Today: 2B Ketel Marte, ARI

The Diamondbacks second baseman is one of the hottest hitters in MLB right now – a large part of why Arizona is up 2-0 on the Dodgers – and with a series victory in sight, expect Marte to deliver.

A big reason we like Marte, beyond the recent success, are the stats he’s put up against Dodgers starter, Lance Lynn. Lynn hasn’t exactly been an ace this year, and the left-handed hitter split has worked against him. Marte’s stats reflect that struggle.

In his career against Lance Lynn, Ketel Marte is 4-for-13 (.308 batting average) with 2 doubles, 2 RBIs, 1 walk, and 3 strikeouts. Marte is a consistent hitter who sprays the ball to all parts of the ball, hits it where you pitch it.

Given his value compared to some of the other 2B options, Marte makes for a nice start on the DFS roster.

Best MLB DFS Picks Today: 3B Austin Riley, ATL

With his 8th-inning heroics in game 2, Austin Riley changed this series between the Phillies and Braves and gave new life to Atlanta just before the Phils took a commanding lead.

Now, with the series shifting to Philadelphia, Austin Riley remains a hitter to keep an eye on. Not only is he hot (that home run being the last swing he took) but he also has fantastic numbers against Philly’s starter, Aaron Nola.

In his career against Nola, Austin Riley is 21-for-54 (.389 batting average) with 5 home runs, 5 doubles, and 9 RBIs. Yes, there are also 16 strikeouts, but to have 10 extra base in 54 at-bats shows how well Riley sees and hits Nola.

And, in a rarity, Riley is not the most expensive third basemen in DFS with Royce Lewis and Alex Bregman also playing today – so Riley’s stats and price make him an attractive start at the hot corner for our DFS lineup. 

Best MLB DFS Picks Today: OF Ronald Acuna Jr., ATL

Austin Riley isn’t the only Brave who hits Aaron Nola well. Ronald Acuna Jr., MVP-to-be, has also put some impressive numbers against the Phillies ace.

In 49 career ABs against Nola, Acuna is hitting .327 (that’s 16 hits), with 4 homers, 5 doubles, and 7 walks to 12 strikeouts. He also has 9 RBIs against Nola. And, with Nola’s high-leg kick delivery, if Acuna gets on, expect a stolen base.

Home runs, extra-base hits, walks, stolen bases – sounds like a typical day for Acuna Jr. and also sounds like a day that should produce a lot of fantasy points for DFS owners who slide him into their lineup.

It’s hard to pick against a player as explosive as Acuna Jr. when making our best MLB DFS picks today.

Expensive? Yes, but with the series tied 1-1 and game 3 determining so much, trust that Atlanta’s star will play like one and rack up value for you.
